Notable Wedding at KenEebunkport.
Especial TO the Press.l
KENNEBUNKPoRT, July 20.-No wedding
in this vicinity has been so well prepared
for, or has attracted the interest and attend
ance of our citizens, as well as many represen-
tatives Of numerous families in other towns
and States as the one occurring this after
noon at the old Lord mansion at the south
part of the village, the parties to which were
Prof Edward Y. Hincks, of Andover Theo-
logical Seminary, and Miss Elizabeth Tyler
Clark, daughter of Charles p. Clark, presi
dent of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company. The large
three story dwelling with its ample and
beautiful grounds afforded desirable situ-
alton for royalty entertaining the assembly
of invited friends. The well preserved and
stately mansion was built some seventy-eight
years since by Capt. Nathaniel Lord
and, it has been said, largely from the
the profits of cargo of salt, which
costing only four or five cents bushel in the
West Indies, was imported here by Capt. L.
Immediately before the embargo and nom
importation acts were passed, and subse-
quently sold by him for about So bushel,
when mechanics services upon his premises
were to be had for fifty cents day. The
homestead has always been kept in the fam
lily.
The present position of the Andover pro-
fessors aud the business prominence of the
brides father tended to increase the interest
and numbers of the occasion. The trains of
the previous afternoon brought many family
friends, but this noon the little depot was
surprised by the advent of train with three
special Pullman cars of invited friends =
Geo. G. Lord, VIM. L. Hart, Jas. I. Furber
and several of the directors in the New York,
New Haven d Hartford railroad, represent
ing the railroad men, while President Egg
bert G. Smyth, Professors j. w. Churchill,
Z. 7. Taylor and Geo. +. Morse led the An
dover visitors. Rev. DIR. FuIber, of New

slty of Atlanta, Ca, and Professor-elect

In addition to the out of town friends, the
local Invitations brought out full delegations
of relatives and citizens, the Forsters, Fen
wlcks and Musgraves all helping to grace
the occasion The house and grounds had a
most inviting appearance, the former by its
appropriate outside decorations and inside
trimmings, and the western lawn by large
well seated tent which had been in place for
several days, and in the meantime had been
stored by the city caterers with every variety
they could produce, and the close of the din
ner proved the supply and the serving quite
equal to the occasion.
Doctor Clark with his accustomed grace
conducted the ceremony, and the marriage tie
was completed by Justice w. +. Moody.
No groomSmen were in attendance, but the
support was from six young girls, sisters
and cousins in the family, who as well as
the bride were in most appropriate dress.
The nhmberless presents were to be seen in
the third story, consisting not only of the ira
ditional spoons, but of every other article in
silver, glass and engraving ever seen in such
connection. Three or four.bank checks of SUBJ
stantial amount greatly ornamented dish.
The lawn tent dinner was through in sea-
son for the Portland $40 o'clock train, and
an extra with the Pullman cars soon went
out with those west bound, closing the de-
lightful wedding at the end of most prop-
tious day.
